So coming from Fort Myer, Virginia to this base’s commissary was like going from trailer park waitress to lottery winning princess. My husband is still stationed at Fort Myer, came onto base during vacation to buy groceries for my mom. Upon walking into this place, it’s huge and bright and was like a wonderland for me. Myer’s commissary is like the children’s section of the library, you know why it’s there but it’s not meant to satisfy adults. I loved everything about this commissary; food was great, prices were great(except for eggs, those were expensive), service was great. I would go on vacation again just to buy groceries from this place. It’s amazeballs!

Everything you need and more is at the commissary. If it wasn’t for the commissary I would have to drive 20 minutes out to buy groceries haha. rating 5 stars

This is a medium size commissary. That being said it is not too bad. The selection of items is decent. The vegetable department had some really good deals. We always load up on fresh veggies when we come here. I do not buy much from the fresh meat department. They have lower quality beef and the Clubs have better prices and better quality. The deli section does have some good deals and nice quality items. We also like the can good, spices, sauces and dairy sections. There are some pretty good deals to be found. The frozen section has some of the better deals. The frozen veggies, frozen meals and ice dream are everyday amazing deals. When they have a sale it can be 50% less then the out in town grocery stores. The service is pretty good. The cashiers are always friendly and the bagging staff are pretty nice. The baggers work for tips but I always feel they earned it. Overall a great place to safe on the standard staples.

Good quality meat that’s cheaper than anywhere else. The only thing I hate about this place is how small the aisles are. On a busy day it’s very hard to get to what you need specially since they put the doors on the cheese and yogurt section. I find that most of the stuff there is cheaper than anywhere else, but I do wish they would have more variety. I would like to see more international, and organic items.

Here is the deal: No tax on purchases, but there is a service charge. Items are competitively priced, especially produce and meat. If you don’t live in the area, it’s quite a drive, and may not be worth the trip to save a few bucks. Avoid this place at all costs around the 1st and 15th of each month(payday) — you will regret it if you choose to shop at these times. It’s a large store and you will find everything you could ever need, all in one spot. The staff is friendly, considering the crowds they deal with. TIPYOURBAGGER! I believe that they only work on tips, and they work hard.

While I cannot speak for all living creatures in existence, I shall endeavor to try: The sushi sold at the Nellis Commissary is by far the greatest thing any organism on earth may ever know. A mere bite, delicately taken to savor its unstoppably enchanting tastiness, will bring anyone immediately to tears. We should all be thankful for such a miraculous treat. At a bargain price.

Great selection for food shopping here! And the prices are unbeatable! I get my organic fruits, salads, grass-fed gr. beef, coconut water, fresh herbs, organic brown eggs, cheeses from ’round the world, hummus, fresh-baked artisan bread, Irish butter, Greek yogurt, etc etc etc, all at this commissary. Now, if they’d only bring back the organic goat milk & some real New Mexico green chile stuff, I’d pop that 5th star right in! ;-)

Good selection, great prices. Very happy to see they are getting larger organic sections, and now have(from time to time) organic ground beef. That saves me a trip to Trader Joe’s! Baggers could use some training… they make the bags WAY too heavy, even when you ask them not to. We use nothing but those green zippered insulated bags sold there, and once when I got home, I found(yes in one bag): 5 lb bag of flour; 10 lb bag of sugar; one of those extra large containers of coffeemate creamer, and a large bottle of Ocean Spray juice. INONEBAG! They also put things together that shouldn’t be. When I got home another time, I had a bag that had a bottle of Simply Orange juice that had been sitting on a box of Dove ice cream bars… guess what happened to the ice cream bars… yep — crushed. I don’t understand it. We are there on a pretty much weekly basis, and always tip $ 5. What gives? I won’t let the bagger situation sway my rating for the Commissary itself. I think it’s nice and clean, with good selection and great prices.(Now if only they would do away with that gal on the weekends who always has a special«at the back of aisle 17» LOL … those of you who shop on the weekends know what I mean!!)

You can’t beat some of the deals at the Commissary — so much lower than off-base. Maybe not exactly the selection of other major grocery store chains, but it’s definitely worth it, and they aren’t missing much. Lots of fresh produce, seasonal stuff — they’ve got it covered! Plus, they’re definitely keeping up with technology, as they even have self-scan. And where else can you get a pink Nellis tshirt for $ 7 Oh yeah.

I love the commissary! Especially when they have their white tent sidewalk sales! Seriously, you can’t complain about cheaper prices and tax free shopping!(although there is a minor surcharge that’s nowhere close to paying tax) They’re always fully restocked every morning(the best time to shop!). My only mehhhh is that the self checkout is really slow when it comes to coupons, like a minute processing time per coupon! So when people go through with coupons, it really backs up the wait time for those in line.

This is still our go-to place for groceries even though we own a Costco membership for years. We’ve compared prices from meats to produce to basic household items and the commissary prices are very competitive(not to mention tax-free). The produce aisle are always full with fresh vegetables, which may not always be the case in other commissaries, so Nellis definitely ranks high in my list(other top-quality commissaries include NAS San Diego and Travis AFB). However, we still go to Costco for fruits as they usually have better berries, apples, and grapes. Their«international» aisle is limited but occasionally I would find good finds, such as on New Year’s eve, I was ecstatic to score a gelatinous rice flour mix so we can make«palitaw»(traditional Filipino food that should be cooked when the clock strikes midnight). The cashiers and baggers are helpful and warm. I also just want to reiterate that the baggers in all commissaries ONLY work for tips as they are not salaried employees, so please make sure you give them a few bucks when they help you take your groceries to your car.

This place is amazing and I would recommend going to this grocery store as opposed to any other if you can. First off, there is a variety and diversity in the foods/produce. For example, there are the common produce you would see in normal grocery stores, BUT there are additional items such as white squash, Japanese sweet potatoes. There is also a giant selection of healthier brand foods(I’ve never even heard of). So in addition to what you normally see, there are healthier options. Not to mention that the items are tax-free. There is however a «surcharge» which is a % of your spending that goes specifically towards the commissary. It’s not much, our bill was 104 and the surcharge was $ 5

This commissary has been in my family’s rotation for quite sometime. I have seen it change a lot as well. I even used to frequent it before it changed locations on the base. Overall you’ll be able to find your necessities here, along with a few specialty items you may need for that special dish you’ll be making during your work week. The spacious commissary offers wide aisles for numerous people to be milling their ways through their shopping trips. Of course, the commissary is known to me for doing my monthly shopping, so I need plenty of space and time to get all my groceries. The produce section is quite large and they sometimes bring in fruits and veggies that aren’t so run-of-the-mill. I do find their bakery section to be disappointing sometimes, as I have tried to look for fresh pita bread here once and they did not have any. However, next to the bakery is a great place to pick up a sandwich or a sub, they make very good ones there and you’ll find the service members often here on lunch breaks getting a sandwich. There is also a sushi place, which I have yet to try, but my husband says it is good. I’ll take his word for it, for now. Since the renovation they have added«fast» and«self checkout» lanes, which is quite nice. But since I’m normally here buying a whole basket full of food, I rarely use them. Cashiers are typically very nice and the baggers are too. Don’t forget to bring a tip if they’re helping you out to your car!

Not sure what happened to my original First To Review? But I guess I’ll write it again:( The Commissary is the grocery store on base to serve families who are typically living on base. However, those who have served and are still on active duty living off base reap the benefits of shopping at this grocery store too, which offers lower prices than the typical grocery store. It’s not convenient for me but the prices on produce, meat and dairy are worth the drive. No taxes charged here, so great savings. Alcohol is purchased at the LIquor store not at the commissary, and its located just down the street. I always carry some cash with me to tip the helpers that carry the groceries out to my car. Around .50 cents a bag I heard is acceptable. I can’t find all the items I need/want here but when I’m on base I load up with meats which are wonderfully priced. Bakery always has nice AF themed cakes too. You need a valid Military ID at check out when purchasing your groceries so don’t forget it!
